Changing cursor in GtkTextView widget.

[Erik de Castro Lopo <mle+gtk mega-nerd com>]

Hi all,

After calling gtk_widget_show_all () on the top level window, I
am able to change the cursor in an enclosed GtkTextView window by
doing:

    GdkCursor *cursor = gdk_cursor_new (GDK_LEFT_PTR) ;
    GdkWindow *window = gtk_text_view_get_window (text_view, GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_TEXT) ;
    gdk_window_set_cursor (window, cursor) ;
    gdk_cursor_destroy (cursor) ;

Unfortunately, doing this after the top level call to
gtk_widget_show_all () is a PITA and doing before fails because
the call to gtk_text_view_get_window () returns NULL.

Is there any way to change the cursor nefore the widget has been
fully set up and shown?

Cheers,
Erik
